Questions to ask before you book

- How much space the van takes up
- VAT, if it applies
- Any minimum charge
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Telscombe Cliffs
How far is Telscombe Cliffs from London?

Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we will confirm what we need.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
